About Me

I live a life of ease, but not in a Yellow Submarine. My AIM name is fakeorganisms.
Here are some pictures that my roommate took of my lovable kitties being clever!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Who I don't want to meet: Flakes, furries, $cientologists, liberals with no sense of humor, liberals who are way too paranoid and believe everything at infowars - you're making intelligent liberals look bad.

Why I don't "blog" very much.

First of all, "blog" is a stupid name.  It sounds like the sound I make over the toilet bowl after a hard night of drinking.  I think typing up your thoughts in a weblog should now be called...
